I haven't managed reproduce this locally, admittedly the test case I was
using before relies on changes in drm-misc-next (HEAPs specifically), so
it might be a bug present in v5.3 which isn't present in drm-misc-next.

>From the code dumped we have:

0: 54000280 b.eq 50 <.text+0x50> // b.none
4: f9400862 ldr x2, [x3, #16]
8: 52800020 mov w0, #0x1 // #1
c: aa1a03e1 mov x1, x26
10: f940605b ldr x27, [x2, #192]

Which looks like the expression s_job->s_fence->parent, so it looks like
s_job->s_fence == NULL. Which looks to me like drm_sched_job_cleanup()
has been called on the job. But I can't work out why.
